A ChargeBox is a kiosk designed for charging a range of small devices including mobile phones, PDAs, iPods, PSPs, and other mobile electronics. It was first introduced in 2005. They are usually located in public locations such as hotels, shopping centers and event spaces. Kiosks usually charge a small fee for secure charging. ChargeBox is funded by the integrated advertising space on its kiosks.
